- Required
- This is the price printed plus the currency code for the currency of the country of publication. Common currency symbols (such as $) and abbreviations are not to be used. Additonal prices for other countries may be listed separated by a semi-colon. For all books the price is given in the major currency, not divisions of it (for example dollars, not cents).
- For issues with no cover price, which were given away free, "0.00 FREE" is used. For issues with no cover price where the original price is not known, [none] is used. For issues with no cover price where the original price is known (from promotional material, for instance), the price in square braces is used, with a note in the notes field for the cover as to how the price was determined.
- Comics with non-decimal cover prices (e.g. pre-1966 Australian and pre-1970 British comics) should be shown in this hyphenated format: "price as it appears on the cover [Pounds-Shillings-Pence GBP]" (or AUP for Australian pounds)
Note: There is no official code for Australian pounds; "AUP" is non-standard but used by the GCD and other sources. - For issues with different prices using the same currency, list the country code after the currency code.
- Examples:
* 0.10 USD * 1.50 USD; 1.95 CAD * 0.00 FREE * 2/6 [0-2-6 GBP] * [2.50 CAD] (see notes) * 3.99 EUR DE; 3.50 EUR AT; 1.50 EUR FR
